Rallying Japanese shares boost Asia ahead of US data



Japanese shares led gains in Asia on Tuesday, with the yen weakening, as investors awaited a series of key economic data releases this week, including U.S. inflation figures, which will help shape expectations for the Federal Reserve's policy outlook following last week’s market volatility.

Oil prices eased after a 3% rise on Monday, as investors remained cautious about the potential for a widening conflict in the Middle East, which could impact global crude supplies. Safe-haven assets like gold saw increased demand, though prices slipped slightly on Tuesday.
